U2 on SNL Season premiere?

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

It's fitting that in one skit all they had her do was just stand there.

Yay, just saw Adam!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee just saw the preview clip before commercial... here they come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cseggleton]

Lorne Michaels: 'oh shit we are in trouble'

pause

Lorne Michaels: "i know let's call u2"



i just saw adam so here we go

 

[Y2K]

So far, Burning Up the Bedsheets is the only thing that was actually funny. I'm not sure how the writers let some of these skits make it to TV.

Looks like "Magnificent" to kick off their appearance, based on Edge's guitar.

Or "Breathe".

 

[bonocomet]

Pick one so I don't have to bounce back and forth!

I know!

 

[lovezeuser]

Little snippet of the boys waiting for the commercial to end!

 

[cseggleton]

Breath

 

[Bono's shades]

This song is so great live!

 

[Sergiodino]

Breathe?

 

[Bono's shades]

Uh oh! B is going out into the crowd!

 

[OrARoundabout]

What was he saying at the end? Oh Bono...






But it was muy bueno...gud job U2.

 

[cseggleton]

the crowd sucks. but i do love the swagger bono has going on

 

[Irvine511]

is it me, or was that not all that good?

 

[U2FloridaFan]

I have two words for Bono...too cool. I wish they would've done Crazy Tonight...live version would have really got the crowd going.

Edge's guitar sounded a bit out of tune...or was it just my feed? I'm watching Slingbox on my computer.

 

[powerhour24]

The camera work is so claustrophobic for their stature, and it just feels awkward to not show the crowd. What's up with Bono though? His voice sounds really strained, and they threw on a heavy reverb to try and cover it up.

 

[cseggleton]

crazy remix would be awesome. that way that could go out into the crowd. maybe they will announce the release date of SOA on SNL sorry that was really bad

 

[U2FloridaFan]

Do you think they'll do another?

 

[NYCGrace]

Yeah, the band always does two songs.

 

[cseggleton]

Do you think they'll do another?

always 2 on SNL

 

[U2FloridaFan]

Oh good. I never watch SNL anymore...and tonight reminded me why I don't....totally not funny...so far.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

i think we will get 3 songs..

 

[cseggleton]

JASUS this show is soooooooooooooooooo bad! then again maybe u2 will do BAD>

 

[NYCGrace]

i think we will get 3 songs..

I wish, but I doubt we will.

 

[U2FloridaFan]

The camera work is so claustrophobic for their stature, and it just feels awkward to not show the crowd.

Yes, their music really needs room to breathe...no pun intended.

 

[MEAT10AF]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Bono wearing the jacket with all of the lasers on it? That could be a clue to tonight's setlist...

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

i just saw the setlist unintentionally on fb..

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

I wish, but I doubt we will.

according to the person who gave out the setlist. we are getting 3.

 

[BEAL]

Breathe just isn't a good song. I find myself going to it on the record once and a while, but live it really doesn't work. Just kind of a odd song.

would have preferred Crazy since it's the single that's out, and I'm sure we'll get that next.

would be great to get 3 songs, and have Ultraviolet be the 3rd song

 

[NYCGrace]

Oh, that's good then! Can you post the setlist as a spoiler?

I also thought the jacket might be a clue, but I don't want to get my hopes up.

 

[U2FloridaFan]

i guess someone didn't want to get in on the spoiler fun so i added it

i will say this:

Spoiler

the remix is probably the biggest surprise of the show....they play it tonight and people start to think, 'are they going to do that when i see them?' and it's going to ruin the surprise.

if they play it, i'd rather them play it the original way

i may change my avatar too, just for kicks

took me over an hour of google'ing last night...here's a little something to watch as we all get ready for tonight:

U2 - Elevation - Live on SNL video by mpadawer - Photobucket

best snl performance by any band. ever. period.

This is funny...looks so old and it's really not that old. Adam and Bono look so different now...in a good way I think.
